changed delete-text insert-text
changed: () => void

The ::changed signal is emitted at the end of a single user-visible operation on the contents of the Gtk.Editable.

E.g., a paste operation that replaces the contents of the selection will cause only one signal emission (even though it is implemented by first deleting the selection, then inserting the new content, and may cause multiple ::notify::text signals to be emitted).

SignalRun Lastdelete-text

"delete-text": (start_pos: number, end_pos: number) => void

This signal is emitted when text is deleted from the widget by the user. The default handler for this signal will normally be responsible for deleting the text, so by connecting to this signal and then stopping the signal with g_signal_stop_emission(), it is possible to modify the range of deleted text, or prevent it from being deleted entirely. The start_pos and end_pos parameters are interpreted as for gtk_editable_delete_text().

SignalRun Lastinsert-text

"insert-text": (
    new_text: string,
    new_text_length: number,
    position: number,
) => void

This signal is emitted when text is inserted into the widget by the user. The default handler for this signal will normally be responsible for inserting the text, so by connecting to this signal and then stopping the signal with g_signal_stop_emission(), it is possible to modify the inserted text, or prevent it from being inserted entirely.
